Stay fit and fine with Chaitanya Chaudhary

Fitness plays a major role in our lives; staying fit and healthy has become essential these days and the pressure is on for celebrities. Staying in shape is a must for those in the public eye – so, it is time to see what they are doing to win the battle of the bulge. For our Tellywatch column on fitness, Chaitanya Chaudhary talks about fitness and healthy living.

My workout regime…
I work out four days a week for close to one-and-a-half hours each day. I do a lot of cardio and concentrate on three body parts in a day – from chest to back to biceps and so on. I fell ill sometime back and had put on a lot of weight. So after that I have been doing more cardio than what I used to. If at all I miss my workouts I make sure to do alternate things like cycling or climbing stairs and stuff.

My happiness quotient…
Spending time with family, friends and watching movies.

My daily diet…
I start my day with muesli, milk, boiled eggs or eggs in any form. I take carbs more during the first half of the day and reduce as much as possible as the day progresses. For lunch, it is two rotis and sabzi. Later I take juices, lassi, fruits and dinner normally includes soup, chicken and daal. I try to stick to this pattern as far as possible but sometimes it becomes really difficult when I travel. But there are always alternatives and there are restaurants these days that serve healthy food. I do take it easy at times but if I am determined to lose weight then I get conscious automatically. I mostly eat right and believe more in burning out whatever is taken. I make sure to balance it out and even if I tend to take it easy, I do not stuff myself. Sometimes you cannot be too strict with your diet and the body does require a balance of everything.

On a rainy day, my idea of a workout would be…
>I prefer cycling indoors. I like the rain but working out in the rain may cause infections so I prefer doing different things indoors. But as far as possible I don't skip my workouts.

My idea of relaxation…
Meditating and watching television.

Size zero to you is…
It is a new concept and I feel it is an unnecessary thing. By starving, it is like injuring yourself rather than doing any good to your health. I feel eating right and working out regularly is the perfect and only way of staying healthy, fit and fine.

I crave for…
I am not that big a foodie but I do crave for vada pav at times.

A lifestyle change I'm trying to make…
Nothing really…everything is going great.

Fitness mantra…
Eat healthy, work out well and keep a healthy state of mind.
